The White House will welcome the president of El Salvador while Washington faces a violent reaction about immigrant removal.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, will receive on Monday the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, at the White House, since he seeks to deport more immigrants to a notorious prison of maximum security in the Central American country.
The contentious deportation program, which has faced several legal challenges, involves the United States that transfer alleged gang members to El Salvador, including Venezuelans accused of belonging to the Aragua Train Group.
Trump has praised Bukele’s government by the people to accept the United States labels as threats. “President Bukele has gently accepted the custody of his nations, some of the most violent alien enemies in the world … They will never threaten or threaten our citizens!” Trump wrote on his real social platform.
On Sunday, the Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio, said 10 alleged members more than MS-13 and Train El Aragua had been transferred to El Salvador.
“Last night, another 10 MS-13 criminals and train the foreign terrorist organizations of Aragua arrived in El Salvador,” Rubio said in X.
He praised the Trump-Bukele alliance as an example of effective hemispheric cooperation.
The Trump Administration has been based on the Alien Enemies Law of 1798 to justify these deportations. Hundreds have transferred their legs under this rarely used legislation, which allows the elimination of nationals from countries considered hostile conflict times.
The Administration states that all deportees were examined and linked to gangs that the United States considers “terrorist” organizations.
But the lawyers and relatives of the claims of the thesis of arrested disputes, saying that many did not have the opportunity to challenge the accusations in the court. Civil rights defenders argue that the immigrant brand as gang members without judicial supervision violates due process.
The case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia
The United States Supreme Court ruled that stops must recite the clean notice for the deportation orders contest. However, the decision left open the question of what legal appeal remains for those already sent to El Salvador.
In a high profile case, the Trump administration confirmed to a federal judge on Saturday that a Maryland man, Kilmar Abrego García, who was mistakenly deported last month, remains confined in a prison in El Salvador.
But the government’s presentation did not address the judge’s demands that the administration details what steps he was taking to return Abrego García to the United States, only that he is under the authority of the Government of El Salvador.
The United States Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the Trump administration must bring it back.
It is likely that the case of Abrego García is on the agenda at the White House meeting.
